What determines the cost
Type of task
A tax return, ongoing bookkeeping, an objection or structuring advice are billed differently.
Value of the matter
The StBVV links many fees to the amounts involved, e.g. income or turnover.
Complexity
Foreign income, several countries, equity compensation or crypto require more work.
Your preparation
Complete, well-organised documents keep the effort — and the fee — lower.

Fee questions
Is there an official fee scale for tax advisors in Germany?
Yes. German tax advisors bill under the Steuerberatervergütungsverordnung (StBVV), a federal fee regulation. It sets frameworks per task, often based on the value of the matter.
Will I know the cost before you start?
Yes. After the first consultation you receive a written quote or fee agreement. No work starts without your confirmation.
Are tax advisor fees tax-deductible?
Depending on what the fees relate to, they can be deductible, for example as business expenses or income-related expenses. We tell you what applies in your case.
Can we agree on a flat fee?
For ongoing advice, a fixed monthly or annual fee can be agreed in writing within the legal framework. It makes your costs predictable.
